Autumn’s Urban Uniform -Blog and Styling Sarah Clark & (Make-up) Eli Wakamatsu
Eli and Sarah worked on the make-up and styling respectively for the Autumn’s Urban Uniform story in the September issue of Red Magazine with the photographer David Mandelberg.
Sarah: “I really loved the Topshop Unique show back February (in fact, it was one of my favourite London shows). I never thought a Topshop show would provide the inspiration for one of my shoots, but with Kate Phelan at the helm, it was a very different show.
I loved the way she deconstructed the military looks to make them cooler and more wearable. I thought this was a great take on the (huge) trend for Red – not too young or gimmicky, but still stylish and cool.
I wanted to style the clothes in a way that was really effortless and easy for every day (but without being boring). My favourite pieces were the Topshop coat (amazing, although not sure I’m tall enough to pull it off myself), the Margaret Howell navy wool cap, and the Joseph skirt. And I was also completely obsessed with the Pringle boots!
I wanted to shoot the story in a really simple location, (and definitely didn’t want any military references), and I just love Hyde Park. It’s so beautiful, and so photogenic. So we shot one day there and one day around the streets in Shoreditch and Brick Lane (to balance out all the green!).”
Eli: “We had such a lovely location shoot, a day out in both Hyde park and in the East end of London.
Sarah Clark’s Little Spree
Sarah Clark has created Little Spree, a blog for children’s clothes featuring cool, stylish bargains for little ones (from newborn upwards…) trawling online and the high street so you don’t have to.
As a Fashion Editor for over 10 years, Sarah knows something stylish when she sees it, and she also has a keen eye for a bargain. She said, “When I had twins in January 2010, I found it harder than I thought to dress them well, without having to max out my credit card. There are great things out there that don’t cost the earth, you just have to know where to look for them (and be prepared to hunt!). But that’s my job. I score the high street for the best things out there (and trust me, if it’s out there, I will find it!), so you don’t have to. All you need to do is log on. Easy. Oh, and there are also loads of great gift ideas (so that’s all your friends’ kids/nieces/nephews/godchildren sorted too).”

Ruth Funnell – Glamour May 2011 Geri Halliwell
Ruth worked on this shoot with Geri Halliwell published in Glamour last month with Sarah Clark styling and Chris Craymer behind the camera.
The story was inspired by Bert Stern‘s Famour Last Sitting pictures of Marilyn Monroe‘. To achieve this the lighting was slightly washed out and back lit, giving Geri a sexy playfulness like the original pics of Marilyn-which fitted the bikinis perfectly.
The story showcases the bikinis Geri has designed for Next with a retro 50’s / 60’s feel to some of them, so Ruth wanted to give Geri‘s makeup a slightly more modern take of those iconic Monroe photos, but to give them a nod in that direction.
Ruth used a beautiful pale coral colour on Geri‘s toes- Essie ‘Tart Deco‘ (also Ruth’s personal current favourite at the moment).
Ruth said that Geri‘s skin is naturally glowy with freckles so she used Laura Mercier tinted
moisturiser as a base. She then lined her eyes with Chanel black eyeliner and used Bobbi Brown pale white eyeshadow on lids followed by lashings of Givenchy mascara, and some M.A.C eyelashes for extra depth and length.
Ruth then used Bobbi Brown Calypso Coral pot and applied lightly and kept retro mat on lips and the apples of the cheeks, finished off with a touch of Guerlain Bronzer.
Ruth then used Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse available from Space NK (R.R.P. £33) for a lovely golden sheen on the body.
I would like to say a very special thank you to Cult Beauty for their help with this post.
